L Como table
L_Como is the data structure where patients' comorbids are stored.
Instances of L_Como
There are several instances of L_Como
- a HanDBase file on each PDA
- containing a HanDBase table
- a table in each copy of the ccmdb.mdb
Contents of L_Como
The L_Como is populated with comorbids from the s_CharlsonComorbids tables. These comorbids contain all comorbids in the Charlston Comorbidity Index and more. Like the diagnoses in L_Dxs and S_AllDiagnoses they are divided into main- and sub-diagnoses.
Because our main repository TMSX is not relational, it is limited to 6 comorbids per patient. L_Como contains a field "priority" which used to be used for ranking of the comorbids to decide which will be sent. The ranking is now done automatically based on the highest Charlson score, so the priority field is no longer used.
